CURRENT MISSION

Life is an adventure - live it up!

ABOUT ME

I love exploring the mountains of each country I visit, so I usually travel with my tent, sleeping bag, etc. I also love music and am happy to have a ukulele jam session!

MY CURRENT TRIP

I'm spending the month of September alpine climbing in the Pacific Northwest, including at Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier and Leavenworth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's no better way to get inspired and enjoy life that by traveling. I've gotten as much out of surfing with my amazing hosts as I have being a host myself. I've met some of my closest friends through Couchsurfing and it has truly changed the course of my life. So grateful the community exists!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a host, you will be like family to me. As a surfer, I'll treat your home as my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted, surfed and attended quite a few meet-ups. I really appreciate the community and what it stands for.
